who's hard to get." - Samantha
After much consideration, Carrie decides that she will
begin sleeping with Petrovsky, but rejects Charlotte's
suggestion that an actual relationship between the two
could develop. The pair spend a wonderful night together,
but the next morning, Carrie is shocked to find that
Petrovsky's apartment is also a hub for his business,
with a living room full of his employees. Petrovsky
serves Carrie a wonderful breakfast, but she wonders
if she's just the latest in a long line of conquests
for the artist.
Steve moves into Miranda's apartment, but the newly-recoupled
couple finds that they have to deal with unfortunate
run-ins with Dr. Robert Leeds. Robert goes out of his
way to make Miranda uncomfortable, leading Miranda to
conclude that he's become obsessed with her. Eventually,
Steve decides to talk things out with Robert, but winds
up interrupting Leeds in an intimate moment with two
other women. Instead of dealing a blow to Miranda's
ego by telling her that Robert is over her, Steve chooses
to just tell her the problem is solved, leaving it at
that.
While mentally recovering from her miscarriage, Charlotte
decides that she will dedicate some of her time to helping
the blind. To help prepare for this new endeavor, Charlotte
asks Carrie to take her to Barney's, where she can don
a Burberry sleep mask, and experience life without sight.
Unfortunately, "guide" Carrie gets pulled
away from Charlotte due to a phone call, leaving the
sightless brunette on her own in the store. After several
harrowing minutes, Charlotte removes the mask and abandons
her plans.
Samantha's relationship with Smith is also experiencing
some friction, as Ms. Jones begins to tire of her younger
lover's perceived inexperiences and flaws. This dissatisfaction
comes to a head at a party thrown by Richard Wright,
as Sam and her ex- steal away for a tryst in one of
Wright's hotel suites. The encounter backfires on Sam,
devastating her since she realizes that Smith's feelings
for her are genuine, unlike the more carnal considerations
from the Richard Wrights in her life. At the end of
the evening, Smith and Sam reconnect, re-cementing their
relationship.
When Petrovsky returns from a business trip abroad,
Carrie visits the artist in his apartment. After another
passionate night, Carrie realizes that she's not comfortable
only having Petrovsky as a lover. She goes into his
studio to tell him that she's breaking it off, but he
shocks her by saying that he's interested in being in
a real relationship with her. The now-official couple
embrace while gazing into one another's eyes, capping
off a wonderful evening.
